Beer Types and Recommended Intake

Created through the process of fermented cereal grains, beer is believed to have first originated in the Middle East almost 5,000 years ago and was first commercially produced in Germany, Austria, and England in the 13th century. These days, it’s a popular drink to enjoy and a massive part of the food and beverage industry. From local breweries to recognized brands, beer has stayed consistently prominent.

Compared to wine or spirits, such as whiskey, beer tends to contain a higher number of calories. As with most foods and beverages, it is important to moderate quantity and stick to a recommended healthy limit. Dietary guidelines recommend 2 alcoholic beverages or fewer a day for men and 1 alcoholic beverage or fewer for women. This will help protect your liver and heart.

Some helpful strategies for moderating your intake include drinking a glass of water between each of your alcoholic beverages and using a pre-measured cup to keep an eye on your portion sizes. If you’d like a kick of nutrients, you can even add some fruit to your beer. Opting for non-alcoholic beers can also help to reduce your calorie intake.
